What does Trae Young's decision to decline his player option mean for his future?

Iso Joe Johnson 2:25
If we didn't talk ever again, I was fine. You just understood. That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that game seven, Marquis coming to, he's like, you know, I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs. This was just basketball.
Teddi Mellencamp 2:38

Iso Joe Johnson 2:48
According to ESPN's Mike Wright, the Spurs are committed to De'Aaron Fox. The Spurs remain committed to Fox as their franchise starting point guard. One rough series essentially playing on one leg doesn't change that. The four-year $229 million contract extension Fox signed last summer kicks in next summer. So he goes from 37.1 to 49.8. He's scheduled to make $61 million in the final year of the deal in 2930. He'll be just 32 years of age. It's expected. That calls for Harper's camp for a spark in the starting lineup will grow louder and louder going into next season. But it's not an issue San Antonio needs to address right now. Fox contract won't become a potential eyesore until Wimby's upcoming rookie extension kicks in.
Iso Joe Johnson 3:39
And when the Spurs are looking the next summer to extend Castle, what should be a max deal? Joe? It's a great thing to have young talent. We saw this with OKC.

What are the implications of the Knicks' no-sex rule?

Iso Joe Johnson 3:51
They get Shea done. You get J-Dub done. You get Chet done. But damn. Okay, you just gave Fox his money. Wimmy going to want his money. Castle going to want his money. Something you have to do with Harper. You can't have four guys on the max contract. I don't give a damn how many you're winning.
Joe Johnson 4:11
How many can you have?
Iso Joe Johnson 4:12
Probably three at the most. Three at the most, but... And then you're going to end up having to get off one of them. But at the same time, if I'm saying Antonio, you know, you kind of ride it to, you know, Fox.
